Custom Board for nRF52811 does not build applications using west tool & Zephyr RTOS

[Skanda Prasad]

Hi! I'm new to zephyr and nRF boards.

I am trying to write a custom board using the nRF52811. When I try to build examples using the custom board using the command (syntax is given below), I get tons of warnings and errors.

---

west build -p auto -b <custom-board-name> path-to-application

---

I kindly request the support team to make this a private case before I share the files and the error messages.

Thank you.

Hi,

I am not sure how you have created your board in zpehyr, but I would have copied the 'zephyr\boards\arm\nrf42840dk_nrf52811' to 'zephyr\boards\arm\nrf42840dk_nrf52811_custom_board' and renamed 3 of the files as shown below:

Then you should be able to choose the 'nrf42840dk_nrf52811_custom_board' when building your application. Once you have verified it builds as-is it will be easier to start the modification of the 'nrf42840dk_nrf52811_custom_board' files.

Best regards,
Kenneth

Yes, I did the same.

It builds only a couple of examples such as blinky whereas samples including other peripherals such as MPU6050 Gyro-acceleroscope, or TMP100 Temperature sensor, etc do not build.

Any reasons for it?

Does those buid for the default board 'zephyr\boards\arm\nrf42840dk_nrf52811'?

Yes.

They build perfectly with nrf52840dk_nrf52811 board.

Also I forgot to mention, I tested on real hardware too. 

The samples build and flash on nrf52840dk_nrf52811 but the same wouldn't build on the custom board that I have defined.

Thanks.
